The missionary goal of a devotee is to convert one person to become a pure devotee - srila prabhupada teachings of Lord Chaitanya

​@peace_on_earth_999it looks like they're practicing some type of healthy practices. I'm all about the permaculture... They have a pretty big following on Instagram right now.

​@peace_on_earth_999by the way, are you part of the new Krishna farm in Georgia?

​@peace_on_earth_999I like that point Prabhu, and certainly results can tell part of the story. At the same time, Krishna reminds us in the Gītā (2.47) that we have a right to perform our duty, but not to the fruits of action. Judging only by results can be a fallacy, because both sides may claim success. What really matters is our dharma and our reaction to what happens—whether we serve with humility, rise above ego, and cultivate love and unity. Maybe the real test isn’t about proving who’s right or wrong, but about how Krishna is teaching us to respond.

​@peace_on_earth_999​@peace_on_earth_999 IMHO Yes an No,we have to be very careful to judge the results.. it really depends on our approach. Are we confirming our biases? Or are we taking all the information possible to make the most objective compassionate decision?.. The ego can be tricky.For me, when I look at the Bangalore Temple I see a thriving community and if I would judge by the results I would say they're doing great.. but when I see the emotional entanglement of the ego regarding both sides.. The lack of philosophical depth on a psychological and holistic level.. secularism runs rampant within both communities and an air of arrogance. For me this is an internal process of self-realization that I've started to realize is lonely.. cuz the ego always wants to feel comforted by the external. Devotee's don't even realize that they get hijacked.. these moments are not meant to be defined by right or wrong. But they are meant to define us by our reaction. Krishna points out do your duty they'll be attached to the results. So it's in action where we resolved the moment. For me it's to ask deeper questions that go beyond the fallacies of the identity self. When sometimes when you think we reach the spiritual plateau it's just another spiritual ego and we still have to die to that. They also think limbering complete darkness on the depths of our life. We have every opportunity to rise to the top cuz when you're at the bottom there's nowhere else to go. We have to invert our thinking to understand sometimes the baddest giving us something good...

I'm just happy we're still a movement after the '90s. I was just talking to my father-in-law about our history which he has no clue of. That we almost lost our temples in the US. And just this weekend in Baltimore we had 8 to 10,000 people come through. One question for everyone? If one is correct and one is not correct, maybe we should ask. Why did it happen?? What's the deeper lesson and why are we getting caught up in the fallacy of who's right or who's wrong? We are supposed to rise above dualities and see things as they are and love everyone as the Jiva. So what's the separation teaching us??

As a son of two disciples of Satsvarupa watching this go by my whole life as I grow from youth to old age. I find a blanket statement as saying srila prabhupada was the last pure devotee a stretch. To say, a pure devotee can't produce pure devotee's is a fallacy which denies prabhupada his pure status. And who is actually in a position to call someone pure? That in itself is a pride fallacy. I think the nuances are more in depth between Temple presidents versus gbcs. The GBC versus swami's. Etc etc.. system protecting the child abusers banishing the victims. Second generation 3rd generation and 4th generation Will survive and as you can see today nothing is stopping this movement.
